As industry enters the Industry4.0 and many world leaders as WEF talk about their country commitments and support for Transformation it is evident we are entering an Era of disruption at scale. However still the true benefits of CSP transformation are not quantified and it is not sure what is tol...

We are all moving to the cloud – our apps, our pictures, our entertainment. Telcos are doing the same thing. They want to get the benefits of the cloud. These include low-cost hardware, multi-vendor systems, rapid development and deployment of services, and automation. But getting to the cloud is...

By 2025, the needs for traditional compute functionality in the cloud will be so large that it can never be built. Quantum computing's arrival promises to revolutionize the cloud. What quantum computing provides is massively parallel processing, atomic-level storage, and security using the laws o...

So a couple of days ago, I was helping out a friend get started in the infrastructure automation with Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Automation with Ansible and other IaaC concepts.
The path we chose was to leverage Cisco's dCloud resources where you can...

In this article, I am grouping all NFV related questions that I have been asked throughout the last online NFV Sessions and I hope that this may contribute to enriching the Community knowledge and NFV awareness in general.
I am also adding a link to the Session slides and video recording.

As Telegeography reported, several factors accelerated this phenomenon in recent years. Major cloud providers like Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook have altered the industry by building their own massive global fiber capacity while scaling back their purchases from telecom carriers. These...

Let’s get started and figure out if physical CPE is in the process of dying?and if that is how it is then if Virtualization alone is the next possible future? But before we do that, let’s consider why virtualization of CPE device was promoted in the first place? The answer is actually very short...

Network virtualization is the overarching concept for the move to NFV and telco cloud. This evolution hasn’t been easy. Poor performance, high cost and lack of interoperability have all been impediments. Now we’re seeing breakthroughs that are knocking down yesterday’s barriers. In this blog, I d...

Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) got its start as a way for end users to save money. SD-WAN let users create their own virtual private networks (VPNs) using low cost broadband connections. Users quickly learned that being their own network operator brought a lot of unwanted complexity and headaches....

Universal customer premise equipment (uCPE) is getting a lot of attention. Service providers such as AT&T and Verizon see uCPE as a way to gain the full benefits of NFV.
Service providers invented NFV to gain the benefits of the cloud. We had to solve many issues to achieve this goal. With uCPE...
